Poem
I have lost a lot of friends A lot of my friends from back then Time has stolen them from me I am not even certain Of how they met their end ‘ But you specifically Do you remember In Nursery school, we used to play Eat dirt, swing and slay monsters all-day But now I can’t even remember your name Rest in peace my friend You will always live as a part of me I have lost a lot of friends A lot of my friends from back then The distance between us stole them from me I am not even certain If their end was excruciating or sudden and easy But you specifically. Do you remember? In primary school you always let me copy mathematics When Mrs. Githafu was checking and marking We were at the back bench laughing waiting for breaks Just so we could play I am so sorry I can’t even remember your name It’s been too long since then Rest in peace my friend You will always live as a part of me I have lost a lot of friends A lot of my friends from back then Life just stole them from me I am not even certain If in the end they saw a light or was it just darkness? But you specifically. Do you remember? We met during the music festivals Back in Nakuru, when we were in high school Some of my friends who are dead like you Pushed me to say hi I remember your smile, it was so beautiful Your replies, you were so kind But your name I am so sorry I can’t remember your name Rest in peace my friend You will always live as a part of me I have lost a lot of friends A lot of my friends from back then My search for more stole them from me Buried under the thousands of followers just for the sake of numbers But you specifically. Do you remember? I remember the excitement of my first Facebook friend Back in 09’ my first Instagram post with a double tap Back in 12’ They were all from you, my biggest friend I never met But you forgot to send me an invite to your burial Still, I can’t quite remember your name Rest in peace my friend You will always live as a part of me
